How a piercing is done.
The correct process, clearly explained.
A professional piercing involves assessing the anatomy, sanitising the area, marking the position, piercing with a sterile single-use needle, fitting the appropriate jewellery, and providing clear aftercare instructions.
Answer First
How is a piercing actually done?
In a specialised studio, the procedure begins with a brief consultation and anatomical check. The area is cleaned, the position is marked and approved by the client, then the piercing is performed with a sterile single-use needle. The initial jewellery is fitted immediately, and the client receives recommendations for cleaning and caring for the piercing. The actual procedure takes little time, but proper preparation and jewellery choice are essential.
A good piercing starts before the piercing itself.
The result depends on the piercer's experience, studio hygiene, anatomical assessment, initial jewellery, and how the area is protected during healing.
What to check beforehand.
Before choosing the procedure, consult frequently asked questions about piercing and the studio's conditions.
Choosing the studio
Safety is non-negotiable.
Choose a piercing studio in Bucharest that transparently presents prices, booking rules and care information.
Do not decide based on price alone. Experience, hygiene, anatomical assessment and jewellery quality influence healing and final position.
For a clearer picture of options, consult the guide with 22 types of piercing and the dedicated page for piercing types.
Initial consultation.
The piercer analyses the area, discusses positioning, jewellery, approximate healing time and any anatomical limitations.
The marking must be checked together with the client before piercing. For details on sizes, see the page about sizes of medical jewellery.
Step-by-step process.
The procedure is quick, but each stage must be done carefully, with appropriate materials and no improvisation.

Choosing the area
Each piercing has different requirements.
Piercings in cartilage, nose, lip, tongue, navel or intimate areas do not follow the same protocol nor have the same healing time.
For specific options, consult the dedicated pages for conch piercing, daith piercing, helix piercing, tragus piercing and septum piercing.
Positioning is always determined by actual anatomy, not only by a reference photo.

Aftercare for piercing.
Wash your hands before any touch, do not rotate or remove the jewellery during the initial healing period.
Cleaning is done gently, according to the recommendations received. Read the complete guide about how to clean a piercing.
If symptoms worsen, intense pain appears, unusual discharge or general condition deteriorates, seek medical evaluation.
Protecting the area
The first weeks matter.
Avoid pressure, hits, snagging the jewellery, rubbing and cosmetics applied directly on the channel.
For checking, cleaning or changing jewellery, consult the services and prices on the page piercing prices.
General maintenance information is also available on the page piercing treatment and care.
What you need to know beforehand.
A piercing requires responsibility throughout the healing period, not just on the day of the procedure.
Risks and reactions
Irritation, swelling, sensitivity, material reactions or delayed healing may occur.
